Accidental airbags deployment?

[bowhunting1]

Speed of the vehicle doesn't determine deployment but rather "delta-v" or change in speed the vehicle experiences during a collision. Vertical forces such as a drop off typically don't cause a deployment unless there is enough longitudinal component. Delta-v threshold for most vehicles for deployment is typically in the 8-14mph range and also takes into consideration if the occupant is belted and seat position before determining if a bag is needed. Not sure if this vehicle is new enough for that feature however. Might check airbag control module to make sure it's not loose. It's located under the RF seat on this model.

Can they plug the car in and get the info from the black box?

Yes. Lots of good crash info on there and pre-crash data.

A guy I work with had his go off in a brand new Chevrolet. Climbing it up out of a rough canyon last year,at his deer lease.

Anything is possible.
Sometimes they dont go off in an accident but 30 min after an accident.

Yep. My son was getting a vehicle ready to put on his roll back when a airbag deployed. Scared the bageezus out of him.
